It's 0.15 of a chain length.
As near as you need it it is around 10 feet.
Well it depends what sort of METER. Gas meters are wider than electricity meters. Now if the O/P means METRES then that's a different pot of kippers !

Would that be electricity meters or gas meters? If you have either of these, you can measure the width with a short stick, and then lay it end to end three times.

What sort of car do you want it guaged against?

My mates office is 3 metres long so it will be about the same as that, so 1 office length.
Buy a 3 metre tape measure and extend it fully...thats 3 metres.

Book up for night school now. Going through life not being able to measure anything explains why you live in that grotty flat on a sink estate.
As regards car lengths - is your ideal car an old Mini or a stretch limo?
I kid you not, my daughter measures things in 'Argos Catalogue's. She will describe things as "4 Argos Catalogues long".
Yes, she is blond.
A friend of mine has a T shirt with the legend: "Please speak slowly, I'm naturally blonde"
